When ‘Gods' Fall Silent: Nitish Bharadwaj, TV's Krishna, Left Broken By Love And Lawsuits
Last Updated: Beloved for his role as Lord Krishna, Nitish Bharadwaj now battles loneliness, divorce, and legal fights with his ex-wife over their daughters Appearances can be deceiving, and this seems especially true for movie and TV stars. While the world sees only their on-screen charm and radiant smiles, their personal lives often tell a different story. One such figure is Nitish Bharadwaj, beloved by millions for his portrayal of Lord Krishna in BR Chopra's epic television series Mahabharata. To viewers, his calm presence and divine smile were almost celestial. But behind the screen, his life has been anything but serene. Troubled Personal Life Nitish Bharadwaj has faced a series of emotional and legal challenges, particularly in his personal relationships. His first marriage, in 1991, was to Monisha Patil, daughter of noted magazine editor Vimala Patil. The couple had a son and a daughter and were together for 14 years before their divorce. In 2009, Nitish Bharadwaj married IAS officer Smita Gete, with whom he had twin daughters. However, this marriage also ended in separation after ten years, and unlike his first divorce, this one became publicly contentious. Legal Disputes And Allegations Post-separation, Nitish Bharadwaj filed a police complaint alleging that Smita Gete was mentally harassing him and deliberately preventing him from meeting their daughters. He accused her of frequently changing their schools to avoid contact. In an emotional interview, he opened up about his mental distress and referred to instances of 'parental alienation', claiming his daughters had been manipulated into hating him. Nitish Bharadwaj revealed to Telly Talk that one of his daughters once told him, 'Papa, we're ashamed to call you our father." Smita Gete, however, refuted all claims in a press conference, accusing Nitish Bharadwaj of distorting facts and attempting to malign her reputation. Career Beyond The Screen Before entering the entertainment industry, Nitish Bharadwaj trained as a veterinarian. However, he soon turned to acting, starting with Marathi theatre before moving into Hindi productions. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nitish Bharadwaj (@ At the age of just 23, Nitish Bharadwaj shot to fame with his iconic portrayal of Lord Krishna in Mahabharat. He later appeared in other mythological series such as Ramayan and Vishnu Puran, and featured in films including Trishagni (1988), the critically acclaimed Malayalam film Njan Gandharvan (1991), Mohenjo Daro (2016) and Kedarnath (2018). These roles further cemented his legacy in both Indian television and cinema. Today, despite his iconic status, Nitish Bharadwaj lives a solitary life, grappling with the aftermath of broken relationships and legal battles.

‘Disgusted to call you our father': When Mahabharat actor Nitish Bharadwaj spoke about abuse and alienation in his marriage; impact on parent and children
The emotional toll of separation and divorce can be overwhelming, especially when children are involved. Actor Nitish Bharadwaj, best known for playing Krishna in BR Chopra's Mahabharat, shared a personal account of such a situation in an old interview, shedding light on the impact of parental alienation and emotional abuse within marriage. In conversation with Telly Talk India, when asked if he would ever marry again, Bharadwaj replied, 'In this marriage, I have faced extreme amounts of abuse of all sorts, and even now with parental alienation, my two children are being taken away from me. If I tell you only the two lines my 11-year-old daughter told me, 'Papa, we are disgusted to call you our father,' this is what one child told me.' Questioning how the relationship with his children deteriorated, he reflected, 'Why is the child saying this after doing everything?' He believes it is the result of alienation. Nitish added, 'It's a lie that I am asking for money. I'm asking for my money that I was cheated of. I feel I'm cheated. So today, it is my children's battle I'm fighting.' Despite the trauma, he hasn't lost faith in love or companionship. 'The institution of marriage is special to me. I believe in it. I have seen many, many, successful marriages including my parents' marriage.' Jai Arora, counselling psychologist and co-founder of Kirana Counselling, tells 'Parental alienation occurs when one parent manipulates or influences a child to reject the other parent without just cause and by feeding them biased information about the other parent. This can involve subtle messaging or direct character attacks. For the child, it can distort their understanding of love, trust, and attachment, leading to anxiety, guilt, identity confusion, and relationship issues later in life.' For the alienated parent, it's emotionally devastating. He adds, 'They may experience symptoms similar to grief, deep sadness, helplessness, and a prolonged sense of loss. Over time, it can also affect their mental health, self-esteem, and belief in their parenting ability.' 'Abuse, especially within intimate relationships, can leave deep wounds of self-doubt, shame, and fear. Therapy offers a space to process these wounds and reclaim self-worth,' notes Arora. It's equally important to build legal and emotional support systems — friends, lawyers, therapists — who can provide clarity when emotions are running high. 'Parents need to remind themselves that healing is not linear; setbacks will occur. Women in particular, due to societal conditioning, may jump into 'only taking care of their children' and not giving enough attention to their own needs after the separation. The focus must remain on modelling emotional regulation and healthy coping, for both parents and the children,' asserts Arora. Keep showing up, even in small ways — sending birthday cards, emails, or short messages that say 'I'm here, whenever you're ready.' Arora recommends, 'Try to look at and understand the place from where the comments are coming from. Parents should learn not to see these as attacks on the self but rather as an insight into the child's inner world.' He adds that when possible, involve a child therapist or family counsellor who can mediate and help restore communication without pressure. Over time, the quiet presence, not loud declarations, often rebuilds trust.
